  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The term “illegal alien” is official government terminology again, after the new acting head of the Department of Homeland Security scrapped “confusing” euphemisms like “undocumented noncitizen” and “integration”.​
Words like “alien” were banned, and politically correct language was mandated by the Biden administration as it presided over an unprecedented surge of illegal border crossings.​
But acting DHS secretary Benjamine C. Huffman has wasted no time overturning the Orwellian edict of his predecessor Alejandro Mayorkas and has reinstated precise terminology, as defined in immigration law.​

It's a start. Newspeak runs deep and wide. The correction needs to find its way through government and culture. You will know the change is taking hold when the PhDs and CEOs start calling people male and female according to their birth plumbing. Anyone who had a hand in mutilating a child for the purposes of "gender affirmation" should be fired, disbarred, and, if possible, prosecuted. It needs to stop and never even be considered again. If it lasts, history will have some dark things to say about the last decade—a real-life instance of cultural insanity.

I can understand why some people think it's offensive. Regardless, words have meanings.
I remember the first time I heard the term "alien" used for illegal immigrants, I was a child. I thought it was too funny because I thought of outer space. lol
